Review of The Sweeney (2012) by Martin C — 23 Sep 2012
On the plus side I did like the music, which must have composed by someone who really likes the Batman films. Actually that is the only good thing about this horribly messed up remake/relaunch of The Sweeney brand.
The feeble effort for the story wouldn't have been fit for a 50 min episode, let alone a 2 hour film. The plot holes and story inconsistancies stagger belief - really would they let someone from internal affairs investigate the unit his wife was working in.
And worst of all for the most part the action sequences are rather dull. If you want to see the hardman cop film re-worked for today watch Blitz from last year with the ever dependable Jason Statham.
